DCOM event 10016 cannot change permissions in Component services
I wrote about this event before here: dcom-event-10016 but this time it was bit different.
Even though I was changing the permission for the object in Component services the permissions were reverting back after couple minutes to what they were and it was resulting that the event 10016 was generated again. Apparently after applying some MS update the permissions on some Windows sub folder are changed. Specifically the permissions were changed on ‘%windir%/registration‘ folder(usually c:windowsregistration). Check the permissions of this folder and make sure that System user has full rights after that try changing the permissions on the object in Component services and see if it stays this time.
DCOM Event 10016
Here is one of the Event errors that I’ve got on one of the SCCM servers.
Source: DCOM
Type: Error
Event ID: 10016
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{A8889E84-14D9-43D0-813A-249BFFE193C2}
to the user domainuseraccount (S-1-5-21-1957994488-1004336348-839522115-9143). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Optiwhite Glass aquarium in Ireland
Just stumbled on a website with fancy name Aqua Art that offers Optiwhite aquariums in Ireland.
You can choose from different options they can make all tank of Optiwhite or they can make a tank that has only front Optiwhite glass.
For those of you who don’t know what Optiwhite is:
Optiwhite is special type of glass that does not have a green color tint.
So it is good that we have someone offering Optiwhite tanks but the problem I have is the price of the tanks and other goods on that website. It would be cheaper to buy a tank in UK and get it delivered to Ireland.
Also for TetraTec 1200 filter they are charging 230 Euro. When I bought mine 3 years ago I’ve paid 100 Euro and that was when nobody knew about recession.
For Eheim Classic 2260 they want 399 Euro. When on Zooplus you can get it for 259.95 Euro.
Oh well … looks like some companies have not noticed any recession.
Hardware Reserved Memory in Windows 7 Part2 for 32Bit
I’ve found this interesting article about how to make Windows 7 32bit to use as much ram as possible. Even when you have over 4GB.
I’ve tried it on one of the test laptops and it worked. It have not crashed on me but I cannot tell you how stable it is as it is a test laptop. Performance wise it seems to perform more or less the same but I’ve noticed that the hard drive is used less as the files are cached in RAM. So in theory laptop should be faster.
Use it at your own risk: Windows 7 32-bit with full 4 GB or 8 GB RAM support
Hardware Reserved Memory in Windows 7 Part1 for 64bit
The other day I’ve been using photo editing application and noticed that my laptop was struggling. Quick view in Task manager revealed that I running out of memory but the interesting thing was that total amount of physical memory was less then I expected. So next I popped up Resource Monitor and clicked onto Memory tab. This revealed that 561MB was Hardware Reserved.
The last thing to check was Basic system information in computer properties. In there it said:
Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.45 GB usable)

Network Node Manager (NNM) authetication using Active directory
HP monitoring software like Sitescope, BAC, SIM, NNM etc. are using build in authentication. This is fine but that means that you have to remember many different passwords and logins. The other thing is that many companies have password policies and these policies must apply to all systems. So the obvious thing to do, would be to use one login provider. For this reason many use Active Directory. In HP SIM configuring authentication through Active Directory is very simple using GUI. Unfortunately in Network Node Manager (NNM) it is not that simple. The information is provided in Deployment Reference document but it is not very clear.
In this post I’ll show you what works for me. Continue reading Network Node Manager (NNM) authetication using Active directory
Dyed or painted fish in Ireland
Update: Aquarium Solution has explained that the fish were not ordered by them but instead was send by supplier which I was told happens quite often. Aquarium Solutions has removed all dyed fish from the shop.
I thought I will never see this in Ireland but unfortunately I was wrong. Today I was bypassing Ashbourne and decided to visit Aquarium Solutions pet shop. It’s a small shop located in SuperValu shopping center. I’ve been there before and it used to be a pretty good shop but recently it started deteriorating.
I vas not expecting much today as most of the tanks were almost empty but one of the tanks had an unpleasant surprise for me. There we 2 painted fish in it. It looked to me that these were glass fish(Parambassis ranga) The condition of both of them were terrible even non fish keeper could see that they were really sick and would not last long.
I though that the general view among fish keepers is that it is cruel to paint fish and that serious fish keepers would not import these fish, but obviously it is not the case for Aquarium Solutions.
I’m really sad that I had to see them in this country and I will be avoiding this shop in the future.
